A unique series of relaxing 7 minute Qi Gong sequences designed to awaken, recharge & revitalize your energy throughout the day.

It can take longer than 7 minutes to order a latte from your favorite coffee shop, make a bowl of oatmeal or check your instagram feed. It only takes 7 minutes of breathing deeply & moving peacefully for your body to recharge & replenish, sending a ripple effect throughout your entire energy body, cultivating ‘full power’. AWAKENING is an exploration of a unique series of Qi Gong sequences [1 for each day of the week] designed to relax the breath, body and mind, allowing you to cultivate clean, fresh, flowing BIG Qi and promote a long, healthy life. These flows can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime!!!

Qi Gong, often referred to as ‘Taoist Yoga’ or ‘Tao Yin’, is a powerful ancient Chinese practice based on the premise that the human body is an energy system. Qi Gong practitioners mirror the movement of nature to awaken the flow of Qi [Life Force/Prana]. This unique practice is composed of tension-releasing stretches, graceful moving meditations and nature-inspired standing postures. Harmonized with balanced breathing and a present, clear mind, this practice empowers a direct connection to the universe & nature by tapping into your ‘life-force’ potential.
